• Seamaster 300 M Diver Chronometer

The Seamaster 300 M Diver Chronometer is part of Omega’s James Bond collection, and rightfully so. Aside from looking sleek and stylish, this chronometer equipped timepiece is capable of being worn underwater down to depths of 300 meters. It also has a helium release valve, to keep pressure from building up when worn in high pressure enviroments. To top it all off, the Seamaster 300 M Diver Chronometer is self winding, features a date display window at 3 o’clock and is topped with a durable unidirectional bezel.

• Speedmaster Day-Date

With it’s rugged durability and it’s endless dependability, the Omega Speedmaster was the watch that NASA trusted as being the first watch worn on the moon. And if that isn’t cool enough, the Speedmaster Day-Date comes equipped with a day-date, chronograph with 12 and 30 minutes registers, tachymeter, and a 24 hour display. The perfect watch to wear if you want to be prepared while retaining a stylish look.

• Omega Constellation Quartz

The Omega Constellation Quartz is a shining example of what Omega has to offer for men. Simple design, sporting only a calendar as far as features go, but stunningly beautiful in execution. Coming in a variety of colors, the Constellation Quartz is a striking timepiece that is sure to command respect from around the room, no matter where you are.

Where do I begin? Omega watches have been involved with sports and space exploration for years, and they show no sign of stopping. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster became “flight-qualified” for NASA when it became the only watch to withstand all of their severe tests and conditions. As a result of this, in 1969, the Speedmaster was worn on the Apollo 11 mission and became the first, and only, watch to be worn on the moon. As if that weren’t enough, the Speedmaster was also worn by both American astronaut Tom Stafford and Russian cosmonaut Alexei Leonov on the famous Apollo-Soyuz space rendezvouz. Since then, the Speedmaster became the official watch for all of Russia’s manned space missions.

In 1998, Omega designed the Speedmaster X-33 to NASA’s strict qualifications, and has since become the official watch of the International Space Station, as well as standard equipment for all astronauts and cosmonauts.
